This study found that individuals with heterozygous truncation-type variants in the *DSP* gene exhibit lower skin temperature and higher transepidermal water loss, with specific microscopic skin changes and pseudomonilethrix.

This study found that minoxidil and finasteride, commonly used for androgenetic alopecia, were associated with different arrhythmia profiles in adverse event reports: minoxidil predominantly with supraventricular arrhythmias and finasteride primarily with ventricular arrhythmias in men.

This study found that male patients with androgenetic alopecia exhibited signs of increased arrhythmia risk, such as higher P-wave dispersion and lower corrected QT interval on ECG, suggesting potential benefits from closer cardiac monitoring.

In this study, low-dose oral minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia was generally safe, showing small average changes in blood pressure and heart rate with infrequent cardiovascular issues, though monitoring is essential, especially in patients with conditions like hypertension or arrhythmias.

A specific gene variant is linked to heart disease, increased heart muscle, curly hair, and thick skin on palms and soles.
